Route android audio to the PC? - Xoom Themes and Apps

I would like to have my phone/xoom as a personal internet radio station without using my main connection.
Is this possible? I know you can route your computer audio to your phone but can that be reversed?

Bluetooth audio maybe. That's the only way I could see this working without using the provided connectors. Windows 7 would probably have the feature baked into the OS.

Ah, I dont have a bluetooth dongle

Other than a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord I don't know if there is any other way.
I personally use a 3.5mm to RCA cord or HDMI plugged into my Home theater receiver for my music, pandora, etc.

The standard dock from Motorola gives you an audio out.
You still need a 3.5mm male to male cable as mentioned by El Daddy.
The only difference with the stand is that the xoom charges while on the stand, and you don't have to use the audio jack on top of the xoom.

Use tattoo like a usb storage and play video from the car's player..
I don't think something like "video-tethering" is possible.

Idea for an app

I've had an app like this but it's not what I need. I'd like an app that you can record music. One where you can input a mp3 instrumental. Playback the mp3 and record over and be able to make it one file. pretty much a mobil studio. Auto tune would be cool but not sure if possible anyone wanna try

Mic would distort the input. And you'd have to edit and fine tune through a crappy speaker. It's a useful app idea if you could get the microusb to work as a direct audio in for an instrument cause usb mics are horrid. Then use hq headphones for playback. Might as well carry a laptop, if youre gonna carry all that stuff.

I found that the mic that's with the headset that comes with the phone works better than using the phone plus I could use them for playback

The media API in Android sucks. They are revamping it for Gingerbread.

[Q] Wireless HDMI Stream

hi,
i already got the mhl adapter for micro usb to hdmi, thats working fine,
but i there a solutuion to do this wireless.
i dont only want to stream videos or audio, i want to have the full homescreen streamed.
the reason is, i want to connect an external hdd via usb
thank you
easiest way is probably ipad2/iphone4s with apple TV2 on IOS5
check this out for android
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
which does the same thing except in place of Apple TV2, you need a PC there.

I think DLNA is your only option there. You need a TV with dlna support.

but with dlna I only can stream movies or pictures or audio
still need to stream the home screen or games

App to control music player through car stereo

Is there any app or hardware I can buy to control my music on my phone through my CD player so I can skip songs on my actually CD player that's played through my phone???
Sent from my XT875 using XDA App
I doubt it.
There are so many Android Phone / hardware configurations and just as many car stereos that I don't think you will have much luck finding anything that will do what you want.
I know the iPhone/iTouch have hardware like that but there's a bigger market and more standardized hardware to achieve that.
Improved Voice controls on the phone would be a better bet for app developers to work on.
I know you can say "Listen to Dark Side of the Moon" and the song will queue up but, as far as I know, you can't say "Skip, Pause, Volume Up, Volume Down".
That would be cool.
I just basically want to control my music play on my phone with my car stereo not really talking about voice actions

I'm not sure if this will help you, there are FM modulators that you can use to stream the audio from your phone to your car stereo.

No I have a aux cable to my phone that would just make it wireless thanks though

Try Googling android car stereo or something like that. You may have to get a more high tech CD player that has Bluetooth capabilities.

Need a Bluetooth audio connection to your head unit, and a head unit that has Bluetooth audio control features. Sync by ford allows this, but i'm sure aftermarkets will too.
An audio cable does not have this functionality in any way.

Ya I figured there would be a combination of aandroud app and a 20 dollar device I can purchase to make this happen other than a expensive new head unit
Sent from my XT875 using XDA App
Maybe just maybe there is a handsfree phone device that could control the music player.... Not sure on that.

yeah moto has one but it doesn't play throught the car stereo system whitch it what i am trying to do i guess i might just have to pick up a ipod touch
I have an iPod Nano just because of how it interfaces with my Pioneer head unit. You can't beat the iPod controls on newer car stereos. I hope Android gets there eventually!
Look for gesture control (proximity sensor control) in the market place.

Kenwood makes head units that, when coupled with a Kenwood app for smartphones, allows you to control the phone from the head unit. Very cool.

I'm having trouble trying to wrap my brain into thinking how to get that to work. so far.... nothing

If apple can get it to work I don't see y android can't what do they have that we don't besides overpriced overrattrd devices

I bet you could take a pair of those headphones that have the controls built in (Beats or something? The ones for HTC phones, maybe I'm wrong but I saw a picture somewhere where the headphone cable had next/prev and vol up/down buttons) and splice it into your AUX cable and be good to go.
Found another thread on XDA discussing this as well (for a different phone, but still most likely applies in this case): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817287&page=2
New Ford cars actually have the technology to do this. Not sure about other companies but my dad just got a new ford truck that can sync up to apps on your phone via usb or bluetooth and I looked it up and just about all new Fords do it.
yeah i want it too pretty sweet but... i can afford a brand new truck otherwise i wouldn't be discussing other options lol.. i was just go buy one ha ha ..

Usb to car stereo, to mimic ipod's audio through usb

Is this possible? I have a head unit compatible with i-devices and have wondered if there was a way to output audio from my bionic/any android to it like iPods do (to let the stereo control the phone).
I'm not too interested in mounting the sd/internal storage, as I use streaming services primarily. Just looking for an alternative to aux & Bluetooth.
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
I don't think that's possible.) =
Best thing I can come up with is EVO 4G LTE and it's proprietary bluetooth jack. But that, of course is bluetooth.
I'm not even aware of any music devices that can stream just through usb other than ipoop.
Never mind
